TITLE:  How to Meditate Properly – Shaman Says Use Meditation Room and Chair

Shaman Charles Crooks further discusses how to meditate properly. He gives information about using a meditation room, meditation chair or meditation stool.  He also talks about why it is important to keep meditation as a simple process. He also discusses in more detail how much time is beneficial for effective meditation. Listen below to learn more. You can also read the transcription below the video.

Note:

The videos from Segment 8 to Segment 20 have a technical problem where the  Video Light used was too low. This caused Red Eye.

Red Eye is the reflection of the Retina back to the camera when the soruce of the light is too close to the camera lens. 

It is not an evil redness coming from my eyes.  We didn't realize the problem till later. A fix is on its' way.

Cindy: Hello, this is Cindy Herb, The Joyful Survivor and a numerologist here in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I'm here with Charles Crooks who's a shaman. Thanks a lot shaman… [Laughter]…thanks a lot Shaman Charles. I bow to you!

Shaman Charles: [Laughter] Whoa! That’s funny! 

Cindy:  Anyway, a little bit of silliness…

Shaman Charles:  Yeah.

Cindy:  We've been talking about meditation [earlier] and I know that you've described that people have come and asked, "How can I meditate?" And there's all-different…I've seen all different types of people telling people how to meditate. 

Shaman Charles: Yeah.

Cindy:  They can have millions of steps. What is your suggestion for effective meditation?

Shaman Charles:  Generally about—a real simple process where you take about…allow yourself about a minute. That's all you need.

Cindy: A minute. And do you think that people ought to have some kind of consistency and repetition?

Shaman Charles:  Well, let's…Yeah. That's good. Repetition is very important. That's why you have rituals because it allows the mind to go quiet. Because what happens is when you do a ritual over and over again, or process over and over again, the mind basically says, "Okay. I know I'm going to have to be quiet and all that." So, it will argue less and eventually it gets to a point where it's automatic.

Cindy:  Okay. And so do you suggest that people go into a certain room or even use a certain chair? What’s the benefit because I've heard you talk and say, 'you can set a condition anywhere for meditation, but if you're going to do it every day, try to do it in the same area.'

Shaman Charles: Yeah. Yeah. You can have something as simple as a chair or stool. And what you do is…basically; let's say you don't have a whole lot of room. And let's say you have, let's say a two bedroom or one bedroom place, or whatever the case may be. Well, then fine. You have a chair, but you reserve this one space or one process. For example, you come home, you get everything else done and all that, and then you want to do some meditation. You do your ritual. And that is, you pick up a chair or a stool, and put it wherever you want to put it. And at that point, you're starting the process right there. The next thing that happens, you basically by starting the process you're going for a constructive purpose. You're going for the purpose of bringing forth light that is with inside you already. So, you put the chair down. That's what you’re doing. It's set. And then, you step back for a second. You give yourself about fifteen seconds. And you contemplate what you're going to do. And then, the second step, that's the second part of it. And the third step is you sit in your chair and you do your work.

Cindy:  You think we ought to keep everything simple, not complex.

Shaman Charles:  Oh yeah!

Cindy:  And why is that? Does complexity cause the mind to do something?

Shaman Charles:  No. No. What happens is that it gets so complex is that you forget what you're doing or you don't get there.

Cindy:  But when you meditate, isn't it like quieting the mind and if you have millions of steps you're not going to quiet the mind because you're…

Shaman Charles: That's right at it. That's it right there.  

Cindy:  That's what I'm thinking.

Shaman Charles: And the neat thing about it that if you can get the same work done in, let's say, two minutes… and you can stay in that chair as long as you want. If you can get everything done in two minutes versus what—twenty or thirty minutes on some of that other stuff, I don't know, but I'm a little…I like the shorter time.

Cindy:  But it's really what works for everybody.

Shaman Charles:  Oh sure.

Cindy:  Because for some people, it may work for them to do the longer meditation.

Shaman Charles: Yeah, that's right. We can't make a judgment on them. We just basically say, "Okay, this is one way and it's a simple and easy way to do it." It would be completely inappropriate to make a judgment that everybody needs to do that particular method.

Cindy:  Right. Right. Well, again…well thanks for clearing that up for us Charles. I appreciate you talking to us today. If anybody wants to find Charles, he's here in the Dallas Fort Worth area. You can find all of his contact information on both of his websites, which are a mirror of each other…but one has a better name than the other, if you ask me. [Laughter] What are those websites?

Shaman Charles:  That's http://healerofheartsandminds.com and the second one is http://shamanic-enterprises.com.

Cindy:  Thanks again. I appreciate it Charles.

Shaman Charles:  My pleasure!
